Foundations of U.S. Export Compliance for UK Practitioners

Part of the Trade Compliance Practitioner Certification Series

Course Summary

This practitioner awareness course introduces learners in the UK to the six primary areas of U.S. trade compliance that they may be involved in: jurisdiction and classification, regulated activities, authorisations, authorisation management, customs clearance, and compliance programmes. This course will provide an overview of these areas in relation to the relevant U.S. compliance regimes, including the Export Administration Regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and Office of Foreign Assets Control-administered sanctions and embargoes. The course includes information, analysis, and commentary that address issues of particular relevance to compliance practitioners operating within the UK.

The training identifies key activities and definitions within the trade compliance environment to foster understanding of the learner’s role in trade compliance.
